Now in his seventh season as a Sale player, Macleod has made more than 130 appearances for the club and scored in excess of 650 points. Danny Cipriani’s form meant Macleod started only nine matches and completed just three last season, but he remains an assured presence at fly-half. Macleod signed for the Sharks in 2008 after seven years at Cardiff, during which he scored more than 200 points playing at fly-half, centre and full-back. A former Wales Under-21 international, he was called up to the Wales squad in 2006 but is yet to win a senior cap.
